what this means for us
As a result of the repeal of Roe V. Wade the entirety of American
individuals sexual and reproductive rights have been stripped entirely.
No reproductive health issue will be protected from this point forward as
they can be deemed a “controversial” topic just as Roe V. Wade was. This
case will now place individuals with a uterus under intense financial and
physical stress, particularly for those who live in states with limits and
bans on abortion access. Even states that will continue to practice
abortion will see heavy increases in the costs to perform these procedures
only increasing the stress upon citizens seeking medical help. The newly
conservative wave of legal actions has already been witnessed in red
states, particularly in Texas. Conservative establishments in Texas are
already in support of limiting access to proper sexual education as well as
access to contraceptives, particularly birth control. This is proven as antichoice
members have been financially supporting Burwell V. Hobby Lobby
Stores Inc. which is fighting to deny their employee's access to insurance
coverage of contraceptives (birth control) based upon their religious
beliefs. In essence, Roe V. Wade's repeal has created a seismic change in
not only the social world but the legal world as well. Many sexual and
reproductive rights were based upon the establishment of the Roe V. Wade
case and now that it has been effectively removed those cases that were
supported by Roe are now nullified. This is not just an issue of abortion
rights but a fight for the rights of the American people to control their own
bodies and remain having their medical autonomy.
